Early in 2009 we started a
database, (now with 4100+ Pilot Escort Drivers,) with two goals in mind:

#1 An Up-to-date list of
Pilot Escorts, quick and easy list for a dispatcher, and make this available
for everyone for free;

#2 Put
a web page together of both good and bad company’s, of truck drivers, and
dispatchers; even Pilot/Escorts. This is for any non-paying
and slow paying clients / jobs, that you have run loads for; a rating
system. This is the“Hall of
Fame and Hole of Shame” page.Together we can make it harder for the few that are due their just
rewards. This could be priceless!

There is no place on the
internet where the majority or drivers are listed at one spot, nor any place to
warn them of bad loads; with your help we can change that!

So far everyone seems to
approve of this venture, with over 500 who have confirmed their information.

(Please use
internet explorer, data page doesn’t work well with Firefox.)

Look around the different
States listed, (click on the lower tabs
to change States,) you’ll see that there are plain rows(un-confirmed escorts,)plain rows in Bold (confirmed escorts,)blue rowsand green rows, confirmed
escorts many with links for e-mails, websites, and some with “more info” on the far
right row.

Your website, email link,
and contact information will always be added to your row for free;
doesn’t matter what level you choose. Those who just wish to confirm
their information will have their row in bold
text, and this is all free.

Those who wish to see their
listing be on a Blue Row, there will be a cost of $7 a
year, that’s less than .59 cents a month. (Those already on a Blue Row, will stay that way
until Aug 2010.)

Those who wish to see their
listing on a Green Row, there will be a cost of $12 a
year, that’s only $1 a month. Besides being listed at the top of your
State page, so you are seen first before scrolling down the pages, green
sponsors will be listed twice, at the top and then down the list according to
their city.

And they get ahtml
link/page made for you under the “More
Info” column. The main reason for the $12 is the amount of
time this site takes, plus bandwidth and server space costs. (Sure not getting rich here!) We also
need to limit these html files to less the 1mg.

Something new for "GREEN ROWSponsors," along with the "More Info html
page," you'll be added to the "Google
map page." This took some time to do, but it’s a cool tool, may
need to limit map links to just one Co. per link / tag.

Having more information
about you quickly available could be a real advantage. This gives the truck
driver/company and or dispatcher more information at hand before they even
start making calls.

To add and or update your
information, (or to just confirmed,)send an email.

(This is a form you can easily submit
and or correct your information.)

Please print your contact
info!Send any info and payment by
mail to:

The main focus started with
the “Hall of Fame and Hole of Shame.” Wanted a useful site
supported by the Pilot/Escort drivers, not a site full of ads. Please,
include any “No or slow pay job report,” for the“HALL
OF FAME & HOLE OF SHAME”
submission page. (This is the “Hall
of Fame, Hold of Shame” report form only, you can easily submit and
or correct information here.) Let us
know who you’ve had problems with. Please do your research and give as
much info as you know. To learn more go to my 1st Bad Boy

There are 4
levels of support:

#
1.Confirm your information, have your row in bold text, (free,)

# 2. Your listing as a Blue Row,
there will be a cost of $7,

# 3.Your listing as a Green Row, with “More
Info” at a cost of only $12,

The database page we’ve put
together has protected content; which means its preventing others from viewing the
source code, it will help stop spam robots from extracting website & email
addresses (less spam,) as well as prevent people from using automated
downloader’s to copy the entire web page to their hard drive. There are
encryption methods and a variety of features like right click copy disabled,
printing disable. This data is not being sold, and every effort is taken to
keep it from being sold! The data will stay fairly safe, yet still useable for
all to use. Why try to copy something that is outdated and changes almost
weekly?

It takes about 6 hours to safeguard
and compile the database, so please don’t look for your updated info to
show up ASAP. Can’t be done while out on a
escort load. It may take a week or two, special effort is always given to those
offering financial support of any kind.

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS for the Pilot Car
Industry

1. Treat other pilots as you would like to be
treated.

2. Do not talk about other pilots in a negative
manner with the driver, other pilots on the job or on the radio. Though, this
is sometimes very hard not to do.

3. Do not discuss rates with the driver or another
pilot(s) on the job. You only need to discuss rates with whoever dispatched
you.

4. Do not argue with another pilot or the truck
driver on the job.

5. Dress in a professional manner. You are a
representative of your company, the trucking company and the pilot car
industry.

6. Be polite to the general public and the ones you
are working with. What you do reflects on the pilot car industry as well as the
trucking company you are working for.

7. Make sure you have all the proper equipment needed

make this an industry we can all be proud of.
